Photo Pyongyang # 2: Former residents explain what tourists see

'Are you asking what is good about the Pyongyang tram system?,' former citizen says

 

In part two of our mini-series showcasing recently taken photos from Pyongyang, two former residents of the city walk us through some of the less common sites, revealing background information few foreigners may know.

Part 1 of the mini-series can be found here.

Park Chol Su (alias) and Kim Jun Hyuk (alias), the two former residents who looked over the shots, left in 2012 and 2015 respectively. Park was a former Korean People’s Army officer, while Kim was a former business person in the construction sector.
